Interesting. I have read this happens and doesn't always work out (like with Mass Effect Andromeda), but I didn't know it was so common. I think many "AA" studios and larger indies are getting around this conundrum with early access. They commit to a working skeleton but still get to prototype features, they get a revenue stream from their own testers to sustain them, and they get a "free" relaunch from a full launch on their own time.
